An Un-PC lesson our Government could learn from, perhaps ?

[sidestand]

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back patio and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards over the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poo. It was everywhere: on the patio tiles, the chairs, the table...everywhere!

Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.

And others birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now let's see..... our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education to anyone born here or not.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.
Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English.

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to "press one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than the Union Jack are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.

A very true analogy unfortunately.

GB used to be compared to great things, but how the mighty has fallen.. compared to a birdfeeder and a back garden

The heart of the problem though(if that's how you see it) is that this has all been very carefully thought out by our govt, they believe this is the only way we will thrive as a nation due to low birth rate in Britailn......so how do the birds benefit us???????
